This note describes the importance and setup of a keyphasor or tachometer signal for PROTOR Remote Monitoring Data Acquisition System (RMDAS) units. RMDAS units are provided with manual tachometer conditioning control. The note describes the control functions and there effect on the conditioned tachometer signal, it also describes the relationship between phase measurement and keyphasor triggering.

I never knew that the capture and analysis of vibration data from rotating machines such as power station turbine generators. I didn’t know about this not until you said it in this article. Thank you for the information about tachometers.
